[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.5 0/3] Coverity fixes for python lowlevel libraries

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

These were initially flagged by the XenServer coverity scanning.  It turns out
that they were being found by the upstream scan, but had been grouped with
Xend and listed as ignored, hiding them from the output.  I have adjusted the
scan filters to not ignore the lowlevel libraries, and identified the
appropriate scan CIDs in the patches

While Xend is certainly dead and gone, XenServer at the very least still has
consumers of these python libraries.

Konrad: I am requesting a release ack for this.  All 5 issues are bugs with
the handling of error cases, rather than with the basic functionality
provided.  With these changes, Coverity is of the opinion that the python
libraries are perfect (0 issues), and I feel this is a worthy position to be
in for 4.5

Andrew Cooper (3):
  python/xc: Fix multiple issues in pyflask_context_to_sid()
  python/xc: Fix multiple issues in pyxc_readconsolering()
  python/xs: Correct the indirection of the NULL xshandle() check
